Are you starting to plan your summer team building retreat activities? We're here to make sure that they are more than just great fun (though that is important too!). Effective team building is intrinsically linked to your vision, value and business objectives and should make space for people to connect with each other in a really meaningful way. We can work with you to add value to your summer away days and improve the way your team connects and works together, while making sure everyone still has a brilliant time. That doesn't mean skipping the fun activity, that is still important, it's just about reframing how you bring in your values to the day and use the experience to build connection or trust within your team. Do you have summer away day plans? We would love to hear about them! #teambuilding #awayday #summer #thrivingteams #psychologicalsafety

Remember that freedom of being on summer break?! Isn't it ironic that now that we are grown-ups we theoretically are more “in charge” and yet have less freedom. Our days are full of lists, obligations. Work. Summer is the perfect time to remember that life is more than work! The longer days give us more opportunities for those things that bring joy and rest – and fun! Sure, you can do things before or after work (take an early morning run, hit a hiking trail after work, read outside, linger over the sunset). But you can give yourself some summer breaks at work too! You could... 🍧 bring a frozen treat to your morning stand-up 🚶♀️ have a walking meeting 🎡 take a field trip with your work team 🏓 play a game with your co-workers What will you do in your personal or work life to make the most of these summer days? Do you have something in mind for your own summer work break? I'd love to hear your ideas!

Now is the time to start planning your summer outing – and reaping amazing benefit too! This is a great article highlighting the pros and the possible pitfalls – What are you planning for the summer?

I can say a lot about this stone. I can compare it to how a team should be: colleagues with different skills should collaborate to create something beautiful. Interconnections and knowledge sharing is essential to build something unique and smooth. Or, I can compare it to how a technical person is: commonly called t-shape, we have knowledge with deeper details, and others with less. I prefer this image because what we know in some specific areas can be used to study, view, understand and acquire other information. And all of them intersect and combine creating our view and thoughts. But, I will not do that, because it is just a stone. #vacation #holiday #thoughts #shapes #stones

Summertime! 🌞 We all love it. And, naturally, we all want to be outside enjoying the sunshine. So, in case your motivation is dwindling... or you notice your team's performance drops... You might want to rekindle the excitement of the work you do for both yourself and your team. Make work more fun and enjoyable.

"We know summer is the height of being alive."  ~ Gary Shteyngart How will you enjoy being alive this summer?  Will you take time off from work?  I hope so!  Time off is so important.  It’s good for our mind, body, and soul. Taking time off increases the opportunity for rest.  It reduces stress hormones, allows the immune system to recover, declutters the mind, and boosts creativity.  It also provides the spaciousness necessary to tap into our intuition and get clarity around the bigger questions in life.  You know, questions like who we are, what we want, and why we are here.    Time off is good for us personally and professionally. Studies show that after taking a vacation employees think more clearly and are more focused and productive, increasing their performance and chances of getting promotions and raises. For many years, I took the weeks of Memorial Day and Labor Day off, creating bookends around my summer. Combined with my “summer bucket list”, it helped me to live a little more, or at least a little differently, in the summer months. What tricks, tips, and traditions do you have to make summer more fun? #taketimeoff #burnoutprevention #creativerest
